Onyxmeth said: Did this have to be planned though? For those that own the game, how common is this occurrence? I ask because it's obvious this is what got people excited about the game in the first place, just using this small thread as an example, and it seems the game was purposely designed to avoid this from happening, which I don't get. |
It takes a little planning so far as I could see from Beta. The game aims to encourage splitting forces by objective or role, as did Resistance 2 with 64 players, however so far as I could see there's nothing actually stopping this either, you've just got to make it happen.
Clearly it would be mayhem to have oddles of players in close proximity all the time, but it does make for a nice experience when it plays out correctly - but it doesn't seem sustainable for long periods.
For some reason the annalogy that comes to my mind is the big pie fights in Laurel and Hardy, which would actually be a pretty hilarious mod if this was on PC - 256 gamers engaged in a standup pie fight at the same time.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
